Check for active internet connection

Question

Wrote a small app that accesses a bunch of search websites and puts the results in a word document, which gets run a few hundred times a day.

It saves individual search

Answer 1

You could use MSXML library & use XMLHttpRequest class to check for things

e.g.

On Error Resume Next
Dim request As MSXML2.XMLHTTP60
request.Open "http://www.google.com"
request.Send
Msgbox request.Status

The status will give you HTTP Status code of what happened to the request. You might have to do some more checks, depending on your scenario.

Hope that helps.
